History

The Kings Contrivance is located on what was a 370 acre farm

granted in 1730 by The Lord Baltimore to The Reverend James Macgill. A stately

Federal Period mansion was built on the present site. It burned to the ground and

was built in the late 1890’s. The residence remained in the Macgill family until

the 1960’s, when it was converted into its present form as a fine dining restaurant.

The Country Fare Group has been proudly operating The Kings Contrivance

Restaurant since 1975. From 2005-2006, the restaurant underwent an

extensive interior and exterior renovation and redecoration.

Voted Howard County’s Best Fine Dining Restaurant for over twenty years by the

Columbia Magazine Reader's Pole

The Milton Inn, a 260 year old fieldstone building in Northern Baltimore County, is

counted among Maryland’s historic treasures. It is believed that construction of the Inn

began in 1740, and it has grown and changed over the years to become one of the premiere

country dining spots in the United States.

Over the years, The Inn has engendered a legacy of romance and numerous

couples have become engaged in its candlelit dining rooms. For private parties

and meetings in the Baltimore area, The Milton Inn will plan every detail

in keeping with its traditions of fine dining and warm hospitality.
